Analysis of the evolution of space debris through a synthetic population

Casanova, Daniel ; Lemaitre, Anne ; Petit Alexis

Resumen: Space debris are all man-made objects orbiting the Earth which no longer serve a useful function. Space debris have increased substantially in the last decades and can be counted in millions. This paper deals with the idea of the creation of a synthetic population of space debris, which preserves as accurate as possible the characteristics of the real one. All the individuals of the synthetic population will be propagated by powerful numerical integrators, becoming into an excellent tool for global predictions or simulations, useful for the future ADR actions, and for the location of parking orbits.
